I would allow it, it’s brilliant. The main learning benefit of cheat sheets comes from writing them, not from using them.
This. Most classes in uni allowed us to have a limited number of cheat sheets and after writing them I rarely used them. Open book exams are a different beast though.
One of my math professors would always ask if people wanted an open book take home exam or an in person exam. Those who had taken his classes before knew to never vote for the take home open book, but were always outweighed by the new folks. Hardest exams I took in college by a large margin
Sounds kinda adversarial from the teachers perspective.
A great teacher would surreptitiously plant the idea to do this.
As someone who spent a few years teaching math, this would be a cause for celebration! I would have had a classroom pizza party the next day. This is creative usage of problem solving math that I could only dream about a classroom of students could come up with.
First mistake was to not specify a sheet size
OK, based on the comments, it’s AI.
This one isn’t. A sheet of paper from mythbusters.
it’s AI
Looks a lot larger than A1 tbh
wasn’t that foil?
No, that’s from trying to fold paper more than 7 times.
You might be thinking of the lead foil for the lead balloon?
Telltales: floor too shiny, machines on the sides dont make sense, inconsistencies in piping in the ceiling, random floating bits on the top right, a few big shadows that dont match the windows instead of many smaller ones
Wonky floor hole shape is what made me certain, didn’t look too close at first and thought it was photoshopped.
This image… I don’t know if it is AI or it isn’t… but it certainly feels like AI…
That’s how they make paper and a lot of other flat goods like tape. The manufacturer makes these gigantic rolls then there’s this entire industry called converting where a company, a converter, takes it and process it down into a finished product. They may add adhesives, lamination or printing to it during the process.
You can go to a store and buy 3M tape but 3M doesn’t actually make it like that. They make a 12ft wide, 10,000 ft roll that someone buys and forklifts into a machine that cuts it into a bunch of smaller rolls that you can buy
Most certainly ai generated, many things in the picture don’t make much sense when looked at in detail. First of all, who would leave that absolute unit of a roll in the middle of the factory? With an axle inside?
As you’ve been proven wrong, this is a good time to point out that accuracy rates of humans identifying AI pics is ~50%, or no better than guesswork. Keep that in mind the next time you declare something AI. YOU might be the reason an artist quits their passion, not AI
Edit: Since I see how my statement might be misconstrued. I’m aware this particular pic is AI gen. I’m referring to OP’s statement about the axle being nonsense, which somebody else showed is standard practice. And that doesn’t really take away from my main point.
As you’ve been proven wrong
Edit: it is AI generated, completely missed the genAI tag on the Adobe Stock website, and [4] is not a ton like I thought, it’s 307kg
It’s listed on Adobe Stock photos[1]
I did find other similar photos[2][3] so it looks like it’s an actual thing that exists. Actually found a listing for a 1 metric ton roll of it[4].
[3] https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo/large-paper-rolls.html
[2] is ai generated or so it says. [4] is real but not as big, and not quite a ton, it says ‘307kg’.
Should have specified that the paper must also be orientable

At the very least spaciesist.
Definitively dimensionist.
I mean, defining the cheat sheet limitation in such a way for Math students is really just asking for it …
If the parameter is that it’s 1 sided then you don’t need to be this creative, just have a longer sheet
I think the joke here is the one sided part. Paper sheet has two sides.
The shape student is using is called möbious strip and its pretty famous mathematical object for being shape with only one plane. Another one is Klein bottle and im sure there are other ones too.
Yeah, but that would make them have two sides, one (or both) with writing on it.
I’m no math teacher but I’d call that worth extra credit!
Something something sheets are planar, but then also allow it because it’s great.
How else are you going to have a 1-sided sheet?
Hmm. Would the surface of a sphere qualify as a sheet? But I feel that is cheating. The inside would count as another side if you could only get to it.
I wouldn’t even be mad. As long as they could explain what a Mobius Strip is, they can use it.
just points
Heard of someone writing in multiple colours and using tinted transparent plastic sheets to read it.
Clever
Id only allow it if it was a seamless piece of paper (not taped together) lol
i don’t think that’s fair because such papers don’t exist
Glue and lots of patience and skill and it can.
so tape isn’t allowed but glue is?
Just weld the paper. Problem solved.
